SERVICES + PRICING

Discover more about our library preparation and sequencing services below.

Library Preparation and QC

We favour Illumina's library preparation kits, but also work with kits from other vendors and varied custom protocols. Our most common library types are listed in the pricing section below. Don't see your required library type listed? Please contact us for details. Prices valid until 30 June 2022. 

Note that although we currently cannot isolate input material, we can advise you on the best isolation procedures for your sample.

Process

  1. Optional: Contact us for advice and planning
  2. Consult our submission guidelines for input material
  3. Complete a sample submission form
  4. Submit sample(s) to our facility for processing

Sequencing

We accept Illumina-compatible user-prepared libraries. For such libraries, certain QC metrics are required before sample submission. Please contact us for details.  Library validation and quantification services (Qubit, BioAnalyzer, qPCR) are also available for user-prepared libraries. Prices valid from 1 April 2023. 

Options and Pricing

MiSeq

The MiSeq offers fast run time and long read lengths to allow assembly of small genomes or detection of target variants with unmatched accuracy. More information

The MiSeq can generate up to 25 M clusters (50 M paired-end reads) passing filter per run when using v3 kits. 

Pricing

Pricing is per run.
